The Manchu Restoration or Dingsi Restoration^[2] (Chinese: 丁巳復辟), also known as Zhang Xun Restoration^[3] (simplified Chinese: 张勋复辟; traditional Chinese: 張勳復辟), or Xuantong Restoration^[4] (simplified Chinese: 宣统复辟; traditional Chinese: 宣統復辟), was an attempt to restore the Chinese monarchy by General Zhang Xun, whose army seized Beijing and briefly reinstalled the last emperor of the Qing dynasty, Puyi, to the throne. The restoration lasted just less than two weeks, from July 1, 1917 to July 12, 1917,^[5] and was quickly reversed by Republican troops. Despite the uprising's popular name ("Manchu Restoration"), almost all putschists were ethnic Han.^[1]
